PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS IN TRANSPLANTATION RESEARCH

Organ transplantation is a procedure which an organ from one body taken and placed within the body of a recipient to exchange a damaged or missing organ. The donor and recipient could also be at an equivalent location, or organs could also be transported from a donor site to a different location. Organs or tissues that are transplanted within an equivalent person's body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of an equivalent species are called allografts.
           Today, renal transplantation in South Africa is hampered by poor donation rates, lack of governmental commitment to supply Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), and functional inequalities during a 2-tiered, economically disparate health system. A floundering public health sector—serving approximately 75% of South African residents—struggles to satisfy basic population healthcare needs and appears to possess regressed in its provision of RRT. In contrast, the private health sector has expanded considerably to realize dialysis rates in-line with other middle-income countries. South Africa has just one transplant program per 19 dialysis facilities. Six transplant programs (40%) are based within the state sector and are within the private sector. The patients are about 9 times more likely to receive a renal transplant with a way smaller number of patients accessing a way larger opportunity of care. However, as long as over two-thirds of South Africa seeks care within the state sector, one would expect state sector transplant numbers to be proportional to the population served therein sector.
